In this series, we are featuring some of the thousands of vendors who will be participating in the HIMSS15 conference and trade show. Through it, we hope to offer readers a closer look at some of the solution providers who will either be in attendance – with a booth showcasing and displaying key products and offerings – or that will have a presence of some kind at the show – key executives in attendance or presenting, for example.

Hopefully this series will give you a bit more useful information about the companies that help make this event, and the industry as a whole, so exciting.

Problems Solved

• Source agnostic to consolidate data sources: With so many disparate data sources, many of which are interoperable, Qlik has the power to pull in multiple data sources, transform it into one consolidated view and enable users to more easily explore and analyze data.
• Uncovers Hidden Insights: Qlik products associate data to expose hidden relationships in complex, multi-source data sets that would otherwise be hidden in hierarchical or query-based approaches. Users benefit from this feedback every time they make a selection or search, allowing them to gain understanding and take next steps.
• Empowers Users for Data-Driven Decisions: Puts data discover tools into the hands of doctors, nurses and other staff to empower them to explore the data on their own so they can make more informed, agile decisions and uncover new trends and best practices.
• Security and Governance to Protect Confidential Information: Administrators can define security rules based on users, actions, resources, and the environment, for all areas of the product. Governed, centralized libraries help to ensure consistency and accuracy (and security) of data and analytics across the organization.
